DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The present utility model will be described in further detail below inconjunction with the accompanying drawings.

This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present utilitymodel, and it is not a limitation of the present utility model. Thoseskilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment withoutcreative contribution as needed after reading the specification, and aslong as they are within the scope of the claims of the presentdisclosure, they are protected by the patent law.

This embodiment relates to a dual-purpose cup, as shown in FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , including: a cup body 2, a telescopic structure 22, a secondcup cover 6, a first cup cover 3, an opening 61 and a straw 4.

The cup body 2 is provided with several telescopic structures 22, theupper part of the telescopic structure 22 is close to the mouth of thecup body 2, the lower part of the telescopic structure 22 is close tothe bottom of the cup body 2, and at least one opening 61 is opened onthe second cup cover 6, so that when the second cup cover 6 is placed onthe cup body 2 where the snacks are stored, the opening 61 is configuredto be opened to take and place the snacks. The first cup cover 3 isprovided with an insertion hole 31 for the straw 4 to be inserted, sothat the straw 4 can absorb liquids inside the cup body 2 and the cupbody 2 can only be covered with either the first cup cover 3 or thesecond cup cover 6 at the same time. When a snack cup needs to be used,the snacks are put into the cup body 2, and the second cup cover 6 iscovered on the mouth of the cup body 2, then the user can take out thesnacks in the cup body 2 through the opening 61. When a drinking cup isused, the water is poured into the cup body 2 through the mouth of thecup body 2, and the first cup cover 3 is covered on the mouth of the cupbody 2 to embody the function of drinking water. When the cup does notneed to be used, it is only necessary to push the bottom of the cup bodyto move toward the mouth of the cup body, so that the telescopicstructure 22 is contracted, so as to embody the compression of the cupbody 2, thereby reducing the overall occupied space.

Preferably, an adsorption pad 1 is provided on the bottom of the cupbody 2, and the adsorption pad 1 is used to adsorb the cup body 2 toother objects, thereby improving the stability of the cup body 2 afterbeing placed. A limiting ring 41 is provided on the straw 4, and thelimiting ring 41 is used to abut against the lower part of the first cupcover 3 after the straw 4 is inserted, thereby preventing the straw 4from accidentally slipping out of the insertion hole 31. The cup body 2is provided with a cup handle 21 to facilitate the user to take the cupbody 2, and only one end of the cup handle 21 is connected with the cupbody 2. There are two cup handles 21, and they are respectively arrangedon both sides of the cup body 2. The first cup cover 3 is provided withan air hole 32. The air hole 32 is used to adjust the air pressurebetween the cup body 2 and the outside world when the straw 4 sucks theliquid in the cup body 2, which ensures that the straw 4 can quicklyabsorb the liquid in the cup body 2. The first cup cover 3 and thesecond cup cover 6 are both larger than the mouth of the cup body 2 andare sleeved on the mouth of the cup body 2.

Preferably, the second cup cover 6 is provided with multiple ones of theintersecting openings 61 so as to divide the second cup cover 6 into aplurality of baffles, the plurality of baffles are fan-shaped, and theplurality of baffles are distributed along the circumferentialdirection, so that when the snacks are put in and the second cup cover 6is closed, the baffle can prevent the snacks from falling out of the cupbody 2 without affecting the user to reach into the cup body 2 to takethe snacks, effectively preventing the snack cup from spilling snackswhen it is overturned or tilted.

Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the telescopic structure 22decreases step by step from top to bottom, so that the diameter of thebottom of the cup body 2 is smaller than the diameter of the mouth ofthe cup body 2. The bottom of the cup body 2 is pushed towards the mouthof the cup body 2, and when the telescopic structure 22 shrinks, thebottom of the cup body 2 is finally flush with the mouth of the cup body2, and the telescopic structure 22 is also flush with the mouth of thecup body 2 at this time, so that the entire cup body 2 can be shrunk,which is convenient for the user to carry.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3 , the first cup cover 3 is furtherprovided with a cover 5, and the cover 5 is used to cover the insertionhole 31 after the first cup cover 3 takes out the straw 4, and the cover5 includes: a cover body 52, a connecting strip 51 and an insertionblock 53.

The edge of the insertion hole 31 is arranged in a convex shape toincrease the thickness of the insertion hole 31, thereby preventing thewater in the cup body 2 from overflowing too easily when it is tilted,and the protrusion can also serve as a sucking mouth after the straw 4is taken out. The cover body 52 is sleeved on the protrusion of theinsertion hole 31. A part of the connecting strip 51 is connected to thecover body 52, and the other part is connected to the first cup cover 3.The connecting strip 51 is used to connect the cover body 52. Theinsertion block 53 is arranged in the cover body 52, and the shape ofthe insertion block 53 is adapted to the insertion hole 31. Theinsertion block 53 is used to insert the insertion hole 31, so as toimprove the overall sealing performance after the first cup cover 3 isplaced on the mouth of the cup body 2. In this embodiment, theconnecting strip 51, the cover body 52 and the first cup cover 3 areintegrally formed. Both the cover 5 and the first cup cover 3 are madeof flexible materials. The first cup cover 3, the second cup cover 6,the cup body 2, the telescopic structure 22, the cover 5 and the cuphandle 21 are all made of silicone. A ring of rigid material is builtinto the opening of the cup body 2, so as to prevent the liquid in thecup body 2 from spilling or the snacks falling out when the mouth of thecup body 2 is twisted. The rigid material can be a steel ring, or othermetal.

The working principle of the present disclosure is roughly as follows.When a snack cup needs to be used, the snacks are first put into the cupbody 2, and the second cup cover 6 is placed on the mouth of the cupbody 2, and the user take out the snacks in the cup body 2 through theopening 61. When a drinking cup is used, the water is poured into thecup body 2 through the mouth of the cup body 2, and then the first cupcover 3 is covered on the mouth of the cup body 2 to embody the functionof drinking water. When the cup does not need to be used, it is onlynecessary to push the bottom of the cup body 2 to move toward the mouthof the cup, so that the telescopic structure 22 is contracted, so as toembody the compression of the cup body 2, thereby reducing the overalloccupied space. The dual-purpose cup set in this way effectively solvesthe defects that the cup is often inconvenient to carry and takes up toomuch space, and has the advantages of not only filling snacks or water,but also optimizing the space occupied by the foldable cup body 2,making it convenient to carry.

The above is only used to illustrate the technical solutions of thepresent disclosure and not to limit them. Other modifications orequivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art tothe technical solutions of the present disclosure should be included inthe scope of the claims of the present disclosure as long as they do notdepart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of thepresent disclosure.
